Hattie Collins

In all of my work, from retail to consulting to interior decorating, I’m passionate about creating spaces that nurture connection and authenticity.

Each era of my personal and professional life is a layer that enriches my aesthetic vision. I’ve learned not only to inhabit but to share these layers of my life story and design journey with friends, community, and nationwide clientele. Ours are lived-in lives, made all the more beautiful by that fact. I help my clients’ spaces reflect the authenticity of their lives with interiors that alight.

I’ve always been a creative for whom fashion, apparel, and interiors intertwined. As an owner and buyer for two stores, I developed the ability not only to discover pieces that are beautiful and reasonably priced, but to find the best location for them in a room, highlighting their character.

This is in part due to my background in art history, which provides me with a nuanced understanding of space, color, and depth. I hold a master’s degree in art history, where I studied architectural history and fell in love with interior spaces — the history they hold, and the stories they have yet to tell. Graduate school helped shape my aesthetic eye and my appreciation for sourcing amazing art directly from local and regional artists.

I’m originally from Texas, though my childhood was spent living in the mountains outside of Aspen. Having now spent over a decade in New Orleans, its aesthetic influence on me is vast — in particular, the mix of new and old, and the way people treasure family heirlooms. I love the challenge of working with heirloom pieces the client already owns and is committed to showcasing.

Having begun my career as the owner of a brick-and-mortar boutique where I honed my eye for design, I now use my background in art history and my design philosophy to create relaxed, yet refined interiors for a nationwide clientele.
